JandC_Cruising Posted October 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I can't find any Free/Reduced Air promos as of today! We were pricing several 2020 cruises last night and the promo was still active across many destinations and sailings. Today, it is gone on everything that we were looking at...Bermuda, Caribbean, Europe! Did NCL actually "end" the promo?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekitty22 Posted October 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I am wondering the same thing. I was looking at Caribbean cruises from Tampa. I am in the Northeast. Hope it comes back ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...that may be the case...on the flip side, I think they lowered at least the first specific fare I am looking at by $100pp. So they are doing some tweaking it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted October 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Looking at the T/C of the Free at Sea promo the new offer/terms starts today. However, if you are looking to add to your family they are apparently offering Free Kids. https://www.ncl.com/cruise-deals/choice?intcmp=pro_hpb_TAKEALLAIRSHOREX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want kids, even if they're free. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted November 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Interesting! I've been watching Bermuda cruises for next summer. On a couple of the weeks I was checking, the balcony prices have dropped by $100 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joken35 Posted November 1, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Give it a few days and the offer will probably be back. there is no rhyme or reason to when they pull a perk and when it is reinstated. that is why I check daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted November 1, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Prices on cabins seemed to drop about $100 on many cruises but the $50 shore ex promo seems to be gone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like tax free sailing and $1 deposits. They come and go. Mostly go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted November 1, 2019 #12 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Most promos come and go. I don't think the free or special airfare promo was available for very long so it makes sense they may have discontinued it, but it also sounds like they have added another special or promo. It was really good deal: I am so happy we were able to take advantage of it when we sailed last month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShark Posted November 1, 2019 #13 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Amazing. Thread after thread of people complaining that the free promos never end. Yet, as soon as one does end . . . 😲😨😢 I sometimes wonder if there is anything they can do (realistically*) that would make people happy. * Such a shame that it is necessary to use that qualifier... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmh3791 Posted November 1, 2019 #19 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I saw some TA's in another group say NCL notified them that they were ending the free airfare 10/30 to rework some problems with it and it would return around April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekitty22 Posted November 1, 2019 #20 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I am hoping this is true. I would love to get free airfare for our anniversary cruise next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with any promo that gets continuously extended, eventually they do end and you never know for sure when that will be. Hopefully a new promo starts soon to take its place, as there hasn't been any reduction in prices, just an elimination of benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shidah Posted November 2, 2019 #22 Share Posted November 2, 2019 What will be worse will be the endless posts with people complaining about wanting to take advantage of a price drop but not able to without losing their free flights. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, like perks or promos everywhere, they do not last forever. AS for no new promos or reductions in price, like any company promos are the same as sales and one won't be going on forever. WE have all been sailing for a long time and didn't base our choice of lines on free or reduced air I don't think. At least we never have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllieinNJ Posted November 3, 2019 #24 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Saw that this promo was ending 10.30 so decided to book with an online TA who was giving an extra $100 OBC for Halloween. Never used them before so hope everything goes smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promo had been running since last November, although they made adjustments to it throughout the year. At times the number of sailings it applied to was more limited, and near the end they added the alternative shore excursion credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
